After Raphael's "Lorenzo Medici", Xiao Ran and the others discovered many top antique artworks of astonishing value, including two marble head sculptures from ancient Rome.

The discovery of these top-notch antique works of art has attracted waves of exclamations, and has also shocked countless people, causing them all kinds of envy and jealousy.

At the same time, their successive discoveries also attracted countless greedy eyes.

Among them are Italy and other countries that were ravaged and plundered by Napoleon, and have successively issued many public statements claiming these astonishingly valuable antiques and artworks.

Xiao Ran was too lazy to pay attention to them, and was still obsessed with the identification work and the discovery of the next priceless treasure.

It's a pity that he found many top-notch antiques, but he never found Leonardo da Vinci's paintings. It has to be said to be a small regret.

In the blink of an eye, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiao Ran finally appraised the last piece of antique art in Napoleon's treasure, and then handed it to Pierre and the others for a second appraisal.

Needless to say, the conclusion drawn by Pierre and the others was no different from what he gave, and it was not as comprehensive and accurate as his.

Later, Matthew and the others took over the antique artwork from the Romanov Palace and carefully packed it into an aluminum alloy suitcase.

After seeing them complete this work, Xiao Ran smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work and cooperation. The cleaning and identification of Napoleon's treasure has been completed."

"This is an amazing discovery and an impressive exploration. I am deeply honored to be able to cooperate with you!"

As he said that, he smiled and nodded at Henry and the others.

Compared with him, Henry and Pierre were more excited and excited.

"Sean, what you said is absolutely correct. This is indeed a very amazing discovery and a treasure hunt that will go down in history!"

"We are the ones who should express our gratitude. Thank you for allowing us to participate in the cleaning and identification of Napoleon's treasures. It is an honor for us and will be remembered in our hearts."

After a few polite words, Xiao Ran raised his finger and pointed at the door of the appraisal room.

"Gentlemen, you can now remove your equipment, leave the identification room, and go outside to wash up and rest for a while."

"Next, we are going to transport everything here to the underground vault of the Musée d'Orsay and store them there temporarily!"

"As for other matters, let's wait until we have a good day's rest and recuperate before we deal with them."

While saying this, he took off his mask and gloves and asked his employees to open the curtains.

As the curtains were completely opened, the originally dark room suddenly became brighter.

The afternoon sunlight shines into the room again through the glass windows, sweeping away the gloom in the room.

Henry and Pierre looked at each other, then took off their gloves and masks with a smile, and walked toward the identification room together!

Xiao Ran did not leave, but stayed in the appraisal room.

When Henry and the others went out, he immediately turned off the live broadcast microphone he was carrying, and then began to instruct his employees in the room.

"Guys, please pack up the things here and take a short rest to prepare for the escort operation that is about to begin!"

"Only when all the astonishingly valuable antiques, artworks and gold and silver treasures in Napoleon's treasures are transported to the underground vault of the Musée d'Orsay can our work today be truly completed."

"The next escort work is definitely the most dangerous part of the day. Everyone must be extremely alert and don't fall short in the end!"

As soon as the words fell, the guys in the appraisal room immediately responded in unison:

"Understood, boss, it's up to us, we know what to do"

Then these guys took action.

They have done things like this many times and are already familiar with it.

Xiao Ran looked at these guys, then came to the window facing the garden, opened the window and looked at the many company employees and security personnel staying in the garden.

He glanced at those guys and then shouted through the window:

"Guys, use an excavator to re-seal the entrance to the underground tunnel to prevent anyone from breaking into it."

"After completing this, everyone can take off their equipment, then rest for a while and prepare for the next escort operation."

"Copy that, boss"

The guys in the garden responded in unison and immediately took action.

In a moment, the small excavator was started and shoveled up several slabs of stone and sent them to the bottom of the pit to seal the entrance to the underground tunnel.

After a while, the entrance to the underground tunnel was sealed again.

Xiao Ran had left the appraisal room and came to the hall outside.

As soon as he entered the hall, everyone looked over.

Elaine, David, and Anthony and the others came forward to greet them.

Coming closer, Elaine immediately whispered:

"Dear, the Uffizi Museum in Florence just sent word through Caroline that they want to acquire Raphael's "Lorenzo Medici" and several other antique works of art."

"They asked for 500 million euros for Raphael's "Lorenzo Medici" and 350 million euros for Caravaggio's "The Stations of the Cross,"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Ah! The Uffizi Museum is very generous. When did they become so rich? Why didn't I know?"

"Or is there someone who funded them? That's why they're so generous?"

“Didn’t the Italian government issue a public statement of claim? Why didn’t they align with the Italian government and instead carry out acquisitions on their own?”

Elaine smiled and nodded, then explained a few words in a low voice.

"You're right, dear, someone did pay for the Uffizi Museum to acquire these top-notch antiques."

"The news coming from Florence is that the people who really funded the acquisition of these top antiques are the Ferrero family, the richest man in Italy, and the Uffizi Museum is just a cover!"

"As for why they don't align with the Italian government, the reason couldn't be simpler. They know very well that those claims and statements are useless nonsense!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly realized.

"Let me tell you, why is the Uffizi Museum so rich? It turns out to be that guy Giovanni Ferrero. That guy has a lot of money and bought a lot of antiques and art from me."

"My dear, you asked Caroline to tell the people at the Uffizi Museum that it's too early to talk about trading the antique artworks in Napoleon's treasure. I haven't had time to think about this issue yet!"

"We'll discuss the transaction in a few days. I've remembered their request. Maybe they will have a chance."

"Okay, honey, I'm going to tell Caroline."

Elaine nodded in response, then turned and walked towards Caroline.

As soon as he left, David whispered:

"The rental of a second vault in the underground vault of the Musée d'Orsay has been settled. It is the vault you mentioned before."

"You can set the password for the vault, enter your iris, etc. when you arrive at the Musée d'Orsay."

"One more thing, the U.S. Ambassador to France agreed to send three Marine Corps special operations teams to help us escort Napoleon's treasure."

"This includes an air team that has obtained permission to fly, and two other special operations teams that will be on the ground to protect the escort convoy."

Xiao Ran looked at the American ambassador to France who was not far away and rushed here again, smiled and whispered:

“These guys have taken so much money from me, so it’s time to put some effort into it!”
